No mention of President Dementia's debacle exit from Afghanistan.

You know KF that your mention the C-L again is going to make one of your readers extremely unhappy.

Yes. None of them mentioned underlying conditions to the know on the decline Delta outbreak. Are Doctors and nurses under a gag order from gov Dobbs to not speak on this very important subject ?

I enjoyed the article today on Bennie Thompson being the right man to handle the Jan 6 or otherwise "stop Trump" committee. Long article but still no mention of the question that bothers me of all people we send to Washington how could Broke Broke Bennie Go to washington and become a multimillionaire in
a few years.

Also Bennie pretty much acknowledged he was worthless to Mississippi because he was the lone democrat but tried to claims anymonies that come to Mississippi are becuase of him. Dems jsut basically lie now and dont think their voters are not smart enough to catch them

Unbelievable.

I saw a dog yesterday, and I bet they don’t even report on that either. No wonder no one trusts the media these days.

As there is always something missing, and this being a primary reason I do not subscribe, couldn't you provide the answer, I believe that would be more enlightening than me attempting to read a document I otherwise would never read.

Not one mention of the horrid exit from Afghanistan- the next day and
For many days….
No delivery on Labor Day so,as their recording said,
Their employees could have the day off…
About Benny… How could anybody say he’s qualified to go anywhere near anything to do with Donald Trump: he boycotted trumps inauguration and he boycotted trumps appearance in Jackson dedicate the civil rights museum… Benny da Boycotter is not qualified!

An entire Monday-Labor Day paper for one thing. Have gotten used to a Thanksgiving paper coming Wednesday night, but they didn't print one at all for this holiday.
Yes, I still get a print edition. Have to for work.

Kind of like the falling tree question where nobody hears it. If a newspaper is printed and nobody reads it, Is it really there?

Absence of article on the psychology of obsession?

"Ask Jack Sun" is missing. Did they drop it?

Think I've got it figured out. Lee Sanderlin didn't steal someone else's work and pass it off as his own on those days.

Maybe you could submit a guest column considering your years-long personal experience battling the problem?

Liberal rag. Read it for sports. Surely not their left wing view they push.

The reporters (so they say they are) at the local TV stations have gotten horrible. From WLBT's website: "Madison Co. sheriffs search for man bearing ‘D Watts’ tattoo on right arm". How many sheriffs are there in Madison County? I remember only voting for one in the last election.

THIS IS ALWAYS LEFT OFF THE HEADLINE. CAREFUL NOT TO EXPOSE A FAILURE OF THE TEMPORARY LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD. Definitely a shame that Clarion Ledger is such an embarrassment.

This deal of withholding an S when it should be used and using the S when it should not be used. It drives me up the freakin wall. Can someone please explain this? Is it a form of dyslexia?

I agree it is horrible, but in all honesty we can't blame these young adults.

Most were never taught the basics of English, Math, Science or gawd forbid History.

But they know all about preferred pronouns and fluid gender.

Why didn't the C-L tell readers that the paper would not be published on Labor Day?

I have subscribed for over 40 years, and this is the first time a paper has not been published (with no heads up to subscribers).

There is no news in Pravda, no truth in Tass and not much of either in the Clarion Liar!!!

"Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers. The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is read by people who own the country; the Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country, and the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is."

"What about the people who read The Sun?"

"Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits."

I'll let readers do a little research as to attribution. Hint: it wasn't Trump OR Biden...

11:41 : sure as hell wasn't Biden. That was a mouthful. Imma guess it was Clay Travis.

When I was a reporter, I was told that news was what affects people. The more people affected locally, the more newsworthy. When big national events or international issues surfaced, the local newspaper would try to localize the story. After all, you get the national perspective from national media. People want local from the local media. Mississippi has a ton of military bases and members covering all branches of the service. Our national guard is usually at or near the forefront of many military actions. I think of all the Mississippians who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001, including my own father-in-law (who I am sort of glad didn't live to see this Afghanistan debacle). Yet, I haven't seen the Clarion Ledger our supposed "statewide newspaper," make any real effort to report this story, much less localize it (which would be easy to do in a state with a big military presence). But, I've come to expect nothing but narrative from the CL, certainly not news that affects us this day and time. Lots of harkening back to 60 years ago (and sometimes rightfully so), but rarely anything that really reflects or mirrors the Mississippi of today. In fact I was stunned, but not at all surprised, to read the glowing feature about how Bennie Thompson considers the Jan. 6 commission to be the "capstone" of his career. Well, I guess that's fitting for him. I saw another front page story not long ago on how monumental it is that a clinic specifically catering to Transgenders has opened in Hattiesburg. How many people does that affect? A dozen? Does it merit the front page above the fold? Finally, and certainly telling, is a mention in the story about Lynn Fitch's issues with her father and mother in law, specifically alleging that she is using her position as AG to self-serve her own domestic interests and intimate her step-mother. Well, I'm no Lynn Fitch fan at all. However, in the CL the writer was sure to mention that Lynn's father and their family home in Marshall County lies on land "once owned by the first Grand Wizard of the KKK." What the hell does that have to do with anything? For all I know I could be living in a house "once owned by a member of the KKK." There might even be a CL employee that fits that description. The phrase was Simply inserted to insinuate and foster a narrative: Republicans bad and are the modern rendition of racists. I also read a column the other day by some woke editor bemoaning the fact that their newsroom is only 20.45 percent African American and Mississippi's population is almost half African American. So? How do you "fix" that? Does the ratio of graduating journalism majors reflect population statistics? Woke BS. Here's hoping this pitiful newspaper one day bites the dust like any business with a shrinking customer base eventually does. It's pathetic. That's why they can't keep staff. That's why the paper has shrunk significantly in both circulation and physical size. In fact, according to the Mississippi Press Association's circulation stats the paper's circulation has shrunk five times from what it used to be just two decades ago. I feel sorry for the ad sales people who are trying to pimp this pitiful and transparently, hopelessly liberal rag.

We know a newspaper is in trouble when:
1. There is no local news of any sort of the front page
2. Nothing local because the editors whored part of that front page to a mail-fraud advertiser.
I worked at a newspaper in the late 80s. With each passing day and crap like the Clarion-Lier out there I am glad I no longer have a "journalism" (or as it really means these days, paid public spinning) career. Heck, I think we would be lucky if there were any impartial "journalists" left...

"Imma guess it was Clay Travis."

And speaking of boobs...

I don't know precisely, but I'd guess that Travis was a very young child when that was written and said. Here's another hint: Cambridge Footlights...and not Python, Monty.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets.
